Padres Agree With Brent Honeywell Jr. Friday
2 years agoThe San Diego Padres and free-agent right-hander Brent Honeywell Jr. agreed to a split major-league deal on Friday, according to sources. Honeywell will make $725,000 if he's in the big leagues and $200,000 in the minor leagues. The 27-year-old former top prospect with the Tampa Bay Rays spent the 2022 in the minors with the Oakland Athletics, going 0-3 with a 7.08 ERA, 1.96 WHIP, 24 strikeouts and eight walks in 20 1/3 frames over 13 appearances (two starts) at Single-A Stockton and Triple-A Las Vegas. Honeywell still has interesting strikeout upside, but he just needs to remain healthy in order to have a shot at sticking on the Friars major-league roster as starting/relief depth.
